To all my Canadian friends out there, I’m in your home-land staying at the very lovely Niagara Falls. For anyone who’s never been here before, it’s a pretty great place to visit – not just to see the Falls but also for all the activity around here! This is just a quick weekend trip for me and Mrs. MMD. Our hotel package came with a lot of dynamite extras. We’re going to try out the Maid of the Mist tour at the bottom of the Falls, wine tasting, a hypnotist show, a comedy club, spa, a few pretty nice restaurants, the casino, and a bunch of other things!
Blog News:
What is up with my Alexa ranking?? In the last week, I’ve fallen from 90K to 96K. I guess a few lousy weeks of low traffic finally caught up with me and are messing with my three-month average.
Quick question – How many people REALLY pay attention to keywords when they blog?

Niagara Falls is a wonderful place to visit. I’ve been there several times, and I have found it very exciting place each time. Thanks for the mention, MMD. I wasn’t paying attention to keywords initially, but I am now to get more Google traffic.

I pay attention to keywords — too much. Freakin LOVE keywords, but that’s a whole ‘nother discussion. LOL.
Thank you VERY much for the mention.

You’re welcome. Wow, I’m liking the enthusiasm for keywords! I’m sure there is probably a lot of time invested in them for your niche site!
Thanks for the mention MMD. I admit I don’t pay too much attention to keywords on my blog, but as my domain strength builds up, my keyword choice will be much more important. I’ll be writing about this in my Wednesday post.
Enjoy your weekend getaway!

And I will be watching for that Wednesday post!
I’ve never paid very much attention either. BUT then again my traffic numbers probably reflect this, so perhaps I should care more about them!
Sounds like a sweet vacation! I’d love to check it out sometime, but I’m nowhere near there. I don’t really know much about keywords, though i have done some basic research on the google keyword tool thingy. Mostly I just write about something and hope people enjoy it
Thanks for the mention.

I have been to Niagara Falls many times in my life, since I live not too far from it. We often take guests who are visiting out of town there. A few weeks ago, the bf and I went bike riding from Niagara-on-the-Lake (another great place to check out because of all the various wineries) to Niagara Falls and back. The Falls never cease to amaze me, such an awesome natural tourist attraction!

They really are beautiful! Is that Niagara-on-the-Lake north of the Falls? We drove up there to the Pellar winery for a tour and tasting. What an absolutely beautiful part of the country!
